It's Crack-a-lackin' Monday!

Hey, did you know that there is a segment of the population that believes people have yard sales because they are generous souls who want to give away their things and not actually collect the cash for them? Silly of me, really, to ask for a monetary exchange…you know…here’s the thingy-ma-bob in exchange for the price listed on the thingy-ma-bob. Whatever was I thinking? I expected to haggle…I knew there would be a language barrier with some of my customers…I knew going in that I would end up cranky and sunburned. But seriously, people, the word sale doesn’t mean free! Overall, it was a success and there were actually no thefts to report this time. Hooray! My favorite customer from the entire weekend was an 85 yr old lady dressed in her Sunday’s best (floral shirt, cardigan and slacks). She purchased my Dad’s old beat-up cowboy boots, put them on and announced she was wearing them for the rest of the day with her Sunday’s best attire. She is a rock star! I want to be like her when I am

From the Murky Depths of Vera Bradley & A Bit of Luck

*Update: Just want to say thank you to everyone who sent me the most wonderful comments and lovely emails about yesterday's post! I am overwhelmed by your kindness and support! It means the world to me! Truly! (if you missed it, just scroll down below this post...it's a Tuesday's Tribute (ahem..a long one, I know..) for my husband Chilly in honor of his first Heartaversary.) Tag! I'm it! The lovely Kristen over at La Dolce Vita tagged me for a Bag Tag! So here's the scoop... 1. Show the current handbag I am using. I'm in a weird "blast from my past" mood with my handbags right now. I alternate between my Vera Bradley backpack (an oldie but goodie) and my dear old friend, black Sak. Today it was the backpack because we had Irish dance. Want to take a look inside? Let's see...we have the following items in the murky depths of Vera... *Too Faced Chocolate Bunny Lip Balm *Sunscreen Stick *Claddagh Coin *Keri Lotion *Notepad & Pink Sharpie *Cather
